Merge tag 'docs-5.10' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"As hoped, things calmed down for docs this cycle; fewer changes and
almost no conflicts at all. This includes:
- A reworked and expanded user-mode Linux document
- Some simplifications and improvements for submitting-patches.rst
- An emergency fix for (some) problems with Sphinx 3.x
- Some welcome automarkup improvements to automatically generate
cross-references to struct definitions and other documents
- The usual collection of translation updates, typo fixes, etc"
